Service was great, food was wonderful! We will definitely be back. Lemon drop martini was yummy too!

Haymaker is delicious breakfast and good service! I've been many times and atmosphere is great! Food, eso breakfast is great. If you like biscuits and gravy! Try theirs!! Yum! And waffles! The one time I had a little bit of a disappointing dish, the owner gave me a gift card to come back and I've never had anything but great service snd food since! And you can't beat the location! We don't have much authentic food up here in north Peoria. We looove it! read more

When thinking of my experience here and wishing I wrote it sooner since it's been a week since I've been here, I smile. My hubby and I had a great time during happy hour here. We sat in the bar area and watched Monday night football while our friendly bartender, Christian, always made sure our mason jars were full. Yes, most drinks are served in mason jars, beers included. However, even with the nice array of craft beers on tap, we couldn't help but notice their whiskey selections. I ordered two whiskey cocktails, the South Paw and the Bird Dog peach Whiskey lemonade drinks, and they definitely packed a punch! They even serve moonshine cocktails as well. Joey, the owner, (at least I think that's what his name was - it's hard to remember after having so many good cocktails - in a good way), was very well knowledgable about his whiskeys and is pondering doing whiskey flights at some point. He is very friendly and loves to hear what patrons of his restaurant have to say. The bread pudding is out of this world good!! It'll have you dreaming of more once you leave so make sure you order this if nothing else. Wings were good. I would order them spicy to get an extra kick because obviously mild just won't cut it. I personally also enjoyed the full rack of ribs which were pretty tasty compared to the country fried chicken. The country fried chicken was tender, juicy, and really good but I expected it to be more like the unhealthy but decadent thick breading type that you'd get at LoLo's or Cracker Barrel and not the light breading that you'd find on chicken that's.. Well healthier. But it's covered in a queso sauce of some sort with diced peppers and other southwestern seasonings that made it enjoyable. This restaurant is definitely going to be a permanent staple in our diets because we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, and whiskey. read more

Really enjoyed this place! I had the Denver omelette with hash browns and it was very well seasoned. My kids had a bacon breakfast burrito and waffles. They both enjoyed their meals as well, although the waffle should really come with some kind of side since the waffle is small for $7. I also had the mimosa flight which was WONDERFUL! Large glasses of mimosa and super flavorful. read more

We've been coming here for years. The food is okay, but the clientele are starting to piss me off, and the managers don't address the issues. For instance, if you are sitting un the bar area trying to have a conversation, you will have to endure people standing over you and agressively trying to get your table while you eat because they are too rude and selfish to wait in line Country Fried Steak like everyone else to be seated. This has become the norm, and I hate spending my money in this place or places like it. read more

We really love the food here. They are good sized portions. We usually always have leftovers to bring home. Hallie is an awesome bartender! She is very attentive to her customers and makes really good drinks! read more

This place has surprisingly great food. I say that because it's a simple-looking restaurant that appears more like a diner than a high end restaurant. But they pull off some really great things, from the breakfasts to dinners. Their pasta dishes are impressive in the quality and abundance of the expensive items like large shrimp. Service has always been smooth and friendly. After about five visits here, I can say they are consistent and there have been no issues. read more

My husband tasted my French Dip and said I should eat his burger because the French Dip wasn't too good. I tried a piece of beef and it was very chewy and reminded me of shoe leather. Some of the beef wasn't edible because it was like rubber and cut the wrong way with the grain instead of against it but they did take the time to add onions and mushrooms to it. The Bread was some kind of squishy bread that seemed like a relative of a hot dog roll and my sweet potato fries were very squishy and just warm. Maybe it just wasn't the best day for a French Dip or sweet potato fries. My husband's Burger was OK! The burger was cooked medium the cheese was melted and the roll was fresh. The fries on this plate were fresh and crisp. The green chile on the burger was cold and would have been better if it was warm but still the burger was OK. No it wasn't the best burger but it was OK. The menu is very basic or uninspired depending on your take of it. This is a family friendly kind of place and is budget priced. It's the kind of place I might take my nieces or nephews too instead of Burger King and also my older relatives that don't like anything ethnic because of the kind of food and prices but I wouldn't ever think of getting a French Dip again. 2.5 Stars Rounded UP to three stars because the burger was OK. read more

We returned to Haymaker @Happy Valley and Vistancia location in Peoria. We had a gift card from a previous " not do good" experience. Let's say unfortunately and fortunately the pork dish I had with eggs was DRY AND TASTELESS. My husbands chicken fried steak and gravy good. Both dishes could of been warmer. We waited 45 minutes for our food and drank our mimosas ( flight ) before food came. The manager polite and the waitress was wonderful!! Wasn't impressed and we were told by others it's a hit or miss when you eat there‍ I LOVED NO MASKS!!! Finally able to feel normal again. read more

Nice relaxed atmosphere , great food and service. Best of all, I love that they honor America !!

Quality of the food is starting to decline. Upkeep of the property is no where to be found since they are moving. Front door slams into the frame the entire time you're eating. Waitress said rhe owner wasn't fixing anything since they were moving. Disappointed with this last meal there read more

you won't be seeing me here for the next 6 months... THEY DONT SHOW FOOTBALL. Such a shame because we love coming here. Don't come here if you're a football fan, they'll just be playing their cat videos on the big screen. read more

I really love this place. I've been here a few times now and haven't been disappointed. They serve breakfast all day long which I love, and their appetizers are soooo good. Their friend zucchini are battered slabs of zucchini and I love them. I've ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast multiple times and now and it's so much food! read more

Hey maker has a wonderful breakfast menu and is very extensive. Delicious cinnamon rolls. Very crowded on Sunday mornings but the server did an excellent job of waiting on us and getting our meals out to us in a timely manner. read more

I've had great experiences while eating there. Food was good, service can be a little slow...but hey it's always busy, so I get that. My problem comes from the takeout service. I've ordered three meals from them over the past couple of months due to Covid-19. I've liked the deals they have on their to go menu. But I've been short changed 2 out of the 3 times. On the first occasion they left out an entire meal for my daughter. Luckily my wife checked and went back in before they got too far down the road. This past time I ordered the family bbq meal. It was missing the pulled pork, rolls and the coleslaw. They did add some soggy broccoli instead...to be fair. So I guess learn from my mistakes and check it before you leave. Oh not to mention that I did call 1 hour before I picked up and asked to pick up at 6:45, but it wasn't ready until 7:15 after I had to wait in the establishment for 25 minutes. read more

Love their food & service! I have never had any issues going to them, ever. Nice & cozy ambiance too, which adds character!

This is my fourth time here and my third for breakfast. It's an interesting place. The first time we came, it was kind of meh, but I have to say that since then, it's really improved. It's our favorite local spot - we can roll out of bed and basically be here. The coffee is pretty good. The hollandaise is delicious. The hashbrowns are tasty. I'll update as I have more in the future. Whoever upped the standards here, thank you. It definitely paid off. read more

Just finishing a wonderful breakfast at a neighborhood restaurant. Service was super, our server, Maddie, was polite and patient. Items were cooked to order. Establishment gave us a generous 20% veterans discount. All in all a delightful morning. No masked required. Getting back to normal, YEA!! read more

Food was great. Service was great (Josh). The menu was fantastic and our kids loved it too. Highly recommend.

We decided to try out the Haymaker once again at its new location (across the street) after having a not so good experience during our last visit. Great location with outdoor seating, and very nice ambiance. The place was busy so we decided to eat at the bar. My wife ordered a "Champagne Flight, which consisted of four glasses with flavors. Blake the bartender added the flavor and then put about ¼ glass of the "Champagne (actually Prosecco) and then filled the glass with soda water??!! Needless to say it tasted horrible. When questioned, he said that is how he is told to make it....really??? Water down the drinks??? My wife had the BLT which was mostly thick bread and I had the meatloaf. The meatloaf had a sweet flavor to it, almost like sugar was added and I did not finish? Overall, we will not be going back. Blake was excellent with a great personality, the atmosphere was outstanding, everything clean and new. The food was subpar and the watered down Champagne was unreal. read more

We were greeted immediately by the hostess and brought to a table where we were served by Jenna. She was a very nice and attentive server who knew the menu well. Wifey started off with the cinnamon roll which she liked but I wasn't a huge fan of. I had the Tipsy Pigy which was excellent. I ordered it medium and each bite gave flavor of the beef followed by the tanginess of the slaw, topped off with sweetness of the bbq pork. I am not a big bbq fan bit this burger was outstanding. They use local ingredients where possible is great and offer military discount. read more

I tried the left coast Benedict and it was so good!! We did have to wait longer than they had quoted but we weren't in a rush so it's okay. Service and prices were good read more

Haymaker Peoria is one of my Sunday morning hangouts where breakfast is served all day. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, I find the food fare is always tempting, and while I give them kudos for their signature Haymaker Benedict, their Classic Benedict is equally as good, and they don't seem to mind when I ask for my eggs scrambled. Definitely give them a try. They serve up large plate portions at moderate prices. During snowbird season wait times should be expected, but they make that up with decent service. read more

Nice restraunt with decent food. We drove quite a distance to try this place...it was good but not spectacular. I ordered the pulled pork sandwhich. The server raved about it being the best thing ever. I'm a BBQ lover, so I was game. It was just okay. Make sure u get extra bbq...it was dry dry dry. My husband ordered the cardiologist burger. This thing was massive!! It was good but so incredibly greasy. The bottom bun fell apart the minute he picked it up. Overall the experience was okay....was hoping for more. We will come back to try breakfast possibly...hoping for better luck with that. Was hoping for 5 stars....but 3 it is for now. read more

Haymaker - Pulled pork sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

I went here for breakfast with my husband, son and his girlfriend on a Wednesday morning. They said it would be 20-25 minute wait. While waiting I signed up for their text messages & they sent me a $5 off coupon that I could use right away. We tried most of the mimosas. We all agreed that the prickly pear was our favorite. We all enjoyed our food. The server was okay. read more

Always enjoy the haymaker. Always consistently good and great service. Really enjoy all that they offer.

PRO TIP: ORDER THE HAYMAKER! DO NOT MISS OUT This is amazing! It's fried chicken on a bed of mashed potatoes topped with tomatoes, scrambled eggs and the most delicious chipotle sauce in top. It has the perfect combination of spice, flavor, crunchy and smooth texture all in one. The portion was huge but it was so hard to stop eating it. If you have a sweet tooth and you are feeling a little boozy they offer adult shakes. I have not had these yet, but I will definetly be coming back for one. The service was great and the ambiance was nice. Very american. Recommend! read more

Haymaker - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Love this place for so many reasons. Let's start with the advice and of course our fave manager Ryan (look for the guy in the polo shirt that looks like Darius Rucker). Breakfast is great here. They cool all to order and are pretty darn quick to turn the food out. If you come here often they have a regards program. It's simple, $5 off every $100 you spend, $25 off when you get to $500. Weekends get crowded here so beat the church crowd before 9:00 am or try after 11:00 for lunch. Try the breakfast sandwich or lunch try the pulled pork. Both very good options. Get ready to salute as they have the pledge of allegiance on the wall. read more

We visited Haymaker in Peoria last Thursday. We both ordered the fish and chips dinner. Service was slow and when the order finally came the fish was way over cooked. The batter on the fish was hard as a rock, the cole slaw portion was reduced to the size of a ping pong ball and the fries were barely warm. The fish was dry and had no taste. Will not be returning. read more

Very disappointed. They have gf items, dedicated fryer for French fries. BUT they dip the gf bread in the same batter that regular bread is dipped in. MAJOR CROSS CONTAMINATION. Won't be back! To the manager: The waitress told us that last time we were there. My grandson is gluten free and was super disappounted read more

The food is a hit and miss. Sometimes it's delicious and sometimes I walk out and say never again. The service is also a hit and miss. Most are not meant to be servers. read more

So Jenna was our waitress she is a cute spunky little blonde from Texas friendly caring and very thoughtful. The food on the other hand has a lot to be desired . So the Orange cinnamon roll I had the icing was absolutely great and the cinnamon roll itself was garbage it was hard on the bottom it wasn't heated up properly seemed like they microwaved it said a steamed it's gross. The menu really does have a lot of good options I should have ordered something than what I did it was all plain Mikey at a Denny's which is even more gross. All in all if I am on this side of town and I do return it would only because of Jenna and her fabulous service and their sweet tea. read more

I forgot to take photos but if you have a sweet tooth or cravings the strawberry cheesecake pancakes are phenomenal. The second I took my first bite it gave me that heavenly feeling, as my first time being at the restaurant it's awesome. Food came out quick and fresh I had a side of bacon and this is the first place that smokes their bacon it was amazing. Food is so great only thing is the wait was ehh, they originally said 20-25 mins but we were waiting for about 40 mins until we went back in and asked, could of forgot no worries though accidents happen! Made up with how great the food was read more
